[H2Open Newsletter] - Maximise Your 'Off Season'

Published: Wed, 10/28/15

   
Welcome to the newsletter. With the open water racing season now well and truly over in the UK, we have gone a bit pool-based this week. Maybe the chlorine has gone to our heads. In this week's blog, Simon argues that joining an indoor training club will not only make you a better open water swimmer but could also open the door to new swimming experiences. And in our training session, Fiona Ford looks at how to maximise the off season by developing new skills in the pool. Read more of Fiona's training sessions in every issue of H2Open magazine.
​For cold water swimmers though the season is just starting. If you are planning on swimming through the winter for the first time or have entered a cold water swimming competition we have produced a handy infographic with our top tips for winter swimming. 
Plus, Matthew Moseley tells us about his 24-mile crossing from Culebra to Puerto Rico.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming!
